"Fred Curatolo lead the Grade & ELA classes through a step-by-step process that allowed the students to create a graphic comic based on their own narratives. A great experience!"

His connection to the Alberta Social Studies Program of Studies, makes his presentation a worthwhile resource."Mena Mauro-Paniccia, Archbishop MacDonald High School

"Fred's curricular awareness made his presentations very practical from a teaching standpoint, while at the same time the students very much enjoyed the process of developing political cartoons."Daniel Alfieri, Archbishop MacDonald High School
